Find compatible Wi-Fi networks

Your Apple Watch can connect to a Wi-Fi network:

If your iPhone, while connected to your watch with Bluetooth, has connected to the network before.

If the Wi-Fi network is 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz.

Your Apple Watch won't connect to 5GHz Wi-Fi or public networks that require logins, subscriptions, or profiles. These networks, called captive networks, can include free and pay networks in places like businesses, schools, dorms, apartments, hotels, and stores. When your Apple Watch connects to a compatible Wi-Fi network instead of your iPhone connection, appears in the Control Center.
